These past months, nearly a year were extremely tough. My immediate family had some serious health problems, there were some deaths in my extended, but close family, and even I had a stint in the hospital and I was laid off as the company decided to outsource... The hardest situation, by far, would be my battle for my son. His abusive dad as taken it to a new level and decided to sue for full custody. I've had to hire an attorney and that has put me in a serious economic crisis as again, I'm now searching for work and living off of unemployment. To top that off, not only has my son's dad been abusive, he's now been doing drugs while driving around Mikhail, (my boys name.) So at this point I am at a loss since my son is old enough to speak up and has done so explaining everything to his lawyer and the lawyer to his judge and yet, she's still allowing him visitation until the trial date next month... I have no idea what to do about this, I'm at a loss.

That's what's been going on with me and I wanted to let you know that I have not forgotten about any of you nor have I fully forsaken my writing. It's just been placed in the back burner for obvious reasons at the moment.

Moving Forward

So with the ugliness out of the way, how are all of you? I hope you have been well. Here's an update on what's to come.

I have placed the last book in the Shifter Fates series on a hiatus. I've found it a bit difficult to focus on what I'm aiming for--an epic completion to the series--and am in the midst of writing the first book in the Governed Mates series. The first book is going to be entitled Stockholm Syndrome. It is Paranormal Romance, not erotica. Each book will be a standalone so they can be read in any order. I plan on passing out numerous ARCs so if you are interested please email me at Laila.Raimes@Gmail.com and let me know you'd like to be one of the reviewers. I have softly aimed for this to be completed within a month, depending on the bumps in the road known as my life. :)

The sequel to Tiny Tragedies has also been placed on hold for a bit due to me trying to decide how I want this book to end. The ending will decide what path the next one takes so I have to make sure it's done correctly.

Mate-Staken Identity

One last bit of information. I have updated this book with an epilogue that I am adding to this newsletter. This will give you a clue as to what's to come in the next book which has no title at the moment. But Micah, Shane, and Jessiah's story is far from over. It's short, but I hope you enjoy it.

Epilogue

He was lost in memories. Lost in past experiences; caught between the past and the present.

So many centuries had past and yet when he reminisced it was as if it were yesterday. As if she were still there.Every time he closed his eyes; each time he dreamt, it was of her. Of them. It was inescapable.

And it was over.Vaguely he heard the mating reaching its crescent. Knew what it meant, what would happen when the bond was solidified. And yet until the bright flash blinded him, it hadn’t seemed real.It’s done now brother.No, brother, Tiberius responded, it’s only just begun.

Mate-Staken Identity will only be available for 2 more weeks before it's removed from sales due to a surprise coming in 2016. If you want Mate-Staken Identity before sometime in 2016, 1-click it now!!

Mate-Staken Identity – M/F, M/F/M.

​Why does Fate hate me?

That has been Micah's question since she was eight years old. Why? Let's see. She's been called a freak since she was little. One reason is because of the color of her hair, another reason is because she is a dual-nature shifter which is practically unheard of.

But the real reason Micah believes Fate hates her, is because she is the only shifter to have an Ever Mate cheat on her...

Now a year and a half later, after finding her Mate with another in their bed, a wolf shifter that looks just like her ex-Mate and his best-friend claim to be her Ever Mates. Could Fate really be that cruel?
